There are many holy moments with what I do. I have been with folks in many ways and at many times, occasions that brought joy and those that brought sadness, and sometimes those are mingled together into one event.
Today I was with a family at a graveside. The loved one had passed a while ago, but now the time had finally come to lay them to rest. I was honored to be asked to join them. Certainly there were tears and lumps in throats as they remembered the one now missing from the circle. But there was also laughter and joy as they were celebrated. Truthfully, the circle between then, now, and the future was, and remains, unbroken.
Thank you, God, for the hope of the resurrection. And for the power of relationships that do not end, just change. And for all the moments in life.
Blessings.
